    Legs are similar to the ones used on WindCheetah racks. They are made in South Africa by Front Runner, imported by Dolium, and available from Opposite Lock. I am sure you can just buy the legs (see Components - Dolium Pty Ltd).

    I think one of the best looking custom made racks is this one. It would be interesting to see it up close but it sure looks the biz.

    Thanks for the effort / info fellas. Yes, the one in the pick is obviously the item. With such low clearance my main issue would be just what there load capacity is. Anyways, I'll chase it a tad more for the sake of the exercise. The last ARB rack for the fender was full length steel with a ply base...geesus...way too heavy. Alloy this time.

    Cheers & Beers

    chook 73...what an understatement!! That panel & hole rack is the best I've seen by a long shot. Must be a market in Aus if someone made/imported this stuff surely.

    My mate just bought a Tigerz , flat roof rack for his Disco 2.

    I think it cost about $ 400?

    It is steel and could be easily adpated to that Mil design sloping front I would think.

    The web site does not list a flat type for landies but as the width and height are adjustable I would think you would find one to suit.

    Check it out

    I like the low profile and the side tiedown rails of the military rack. However I would change the mesh for two wide sheets of alloy checker plate running front to back.
